Racer X Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 The other option would be the new KCNC units. Give paragon a shout and see if they have them in stock. The unit in question the theh KCNC K-Type XC1 Compact.
GoLefty!! Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 KCNC does not make a 2x9 chainset... or chainrings options
GoLefty!! Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Ooops I take that back, they do make a 2x9, they just don't appear to market the chainrings via heir website
Thug Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009 SKF does have a good write-up and according to the marketing blurb the fact that it uses needle roller bearings as opposed to normal ball bearings ensures increased longevity. Whether that's the case or not I'm not in a position to say. Anyone stock them in SA ?    Â

Yeah I am not sure if Paragon brings the new crankset in yet, I'll mail them in a minute and find out. Clee Cycles in the UK sells them thiugh, http://clee-cycles.co.uk/cc/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/24_49/products_id/632?osCsid=93783d89ab17b7676e12425a85ca076a
GoLefty!! Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 the issue with needle bearings is that they have to be immersed in grease with little dirt getting to the rollers themselves. Ball nbearings are better in this respect but needle bearings have a higher load carrying capacity.

I need to replace a set of Hollowgram II chainrings in the next few months and they ain't cheap! Well he inner isn't cheapÂ
TitusTi Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Ooops I take that back' date=' they do make a 2x9, they just don't appear to market the chainrings via heir website [/quote'] Â Yip, 5 arm chainrings on a dedicated double crankset, none are currently available though.
onebynine Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I run an XTR 180mm crank with the 44/32 chainrings on my Epic and an LX crankset with a 36T chainring on my 1x9 bike Just need to get a roller thingy to replace the deore FD that I have (no cables) to keep the chain on the ring...
Thug Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009  Thug' date=' I saw on of these on a bike in CPT a few days ago. http://www.whiteind.com/cranks/mountaincranks.html The most beautiful crankset I've ever seen!  They are available from www.aspirevelotech.com. I have ordered from these guys before and their service is without doubt the best I have experienced from any online retailer.(ie. I messed up the order and they shipped out the correct items at no charge) The cranks are not listed on the site but I emailed them as my brother was interested and they said...."We do not currently have the White Industries VBC crankset in stock, but we can order it for you and have it ready to ship to you in about 2 weeks. The total price for the VBC crankset with double chainrings is $315.00 with free shipping to South Africaon>. Please let us know the crank length you need along with the chainring sizes(inner and outer) you need for your bike and we can get it ordered for you."    [/quote'] White Industries stuff is really sweet. Have been eyeing one of their ENO hubs for quite a while ! At that price it seems pretty reasonable for their renowned quality.  Â
